The authors investigate world's fairs in their multiple aspects: political, urban/architectural, anthropological/sociological, technological, commercial, popular, and representational. The volume presents its own phantasmagoria of disciplinary perspectives, historical periods, geographical locales, media, and messages, mirroring the microcosmic form of the world's fair itself.
